Eye of the Coach #86: 2024 can be the year of Jannik Sinner, he’s ready
In the latest episode of The Eye of the Coach, Patrick Mouratoglou looks at the prospects of the nearest challengers to Novak Djokovic’s supremacy in 2024
2024 will likely see a continuation of Novak Djokovic‘s dominance, but Jannik Sinner and Carlos Alcaraz will continue to push him as the two nearest challengers to the Serb, says Patrick Mouratoglou, with Sinner having the edge over the Spaniard.
Sinner had a superb end to the 2023 season, winning two 500-level tournaments, beating all three of the top-ranked players – including Djokovic twice in eleven days – and leading Italy to their first Davis Cup title in 47 years.
In the latest episode of The Eye of the Coach, Mouratoglou analyses Sinner’s prospects in 2024, explaining why his Davis Cup triumph with Italy could be the catalyst for a hugely successful season.
